Alex Caruso started out as a cult following-type player for the Los Angeles Lakers since the 2017-18 NBA season.
His high-flying dunks and highlight-reel plays just seemed out of place coming from a player of his stature and appearance, and it led to him becoming a quick fan favorite in Los Angeles.
However, during the 2019-20 season, Caruso has become much more than that. He’s become a full-fledged rotation player and someone capable of making a difference every time he’s on the court.

Caruso is one of just four players in the NBA to average over one steal a game in under 20 minutes and also improves the team’s defensive rating by 9.
